They argue it's only a help or support.

Price was 9 Bs. (around 1 USD), at the supermarket that will be around 15 USD.
All these products are sold per family per month.
In theory it should be sold without any restriction, but in some places it is used as political control (if you don't support me or vote for me, no food).
That is one of the things that "help" people with a 16 USD monthly minimum wage.

Of course I want outsiders to know what is happening here, venezuelan living here aren't a big number on Reddit and it is not news for people here, about donations, I don't ask for them.

Corrupt and populist government.

You could get 120 litres per month subsidized at a very low price (like 3 cents per litre), but you need to stay in line for days and not everyone can get it.
"Free" price (which usually means making a line anyway, maybe 1h depends where you live) is 0.50 USD per litre.

inflation is better now, only around 10% monthly, we reached 2,000,000% yearly in 2018.
People need a relative abroad that can help or have several jobs and sidejobs here!
What else do you want to know? Happy to reply

Well, people working for minimum wage do mostly for the government and they receive some "benefits" most of them even have another work.

Yes, prices are in USD. Ironically here the most used currency is the USD as there is no trust in the Bolivar.
Yes, ONE month of wage (minimum) is less than 16 USD. Average is around 100 USD monthly, 200 USD is possible.

Yes, I like to post this kind of things to make awareness about the situation here.
